The record
Bailey's brassy, big-toned trumpet leads a cannily arranged sextet-plus-horn date, with Julius Watkins' french horn and Les Spann's doubling adding rare color to Nyle Fortune's charts. A Candid session from the label's brief, adventurous 1960 run, with Tommy Flanagan and Phil Woods giving the frontline real bite.
